INTRODUCTION:-
“Service to mankind is service to God”
This quote is extremely apt in this present juncture of time as it quite relevant from the present mindset of the society. Most often, hard work pays off but the faith in the
Almighty God has often been the key to success that we human being often term as “Luck”.
IMPORTANCE OF SHRAVAN:-
As the time of July- Aug is often regarded as the “SHRAVAN” Months, people from various parts of the country offer their offerings to Lord Shiva as a symbol of worship. The religious devotees of Hinduism consider ‘Shravan’, a holy and religious month dedicated to spiritual practices and religious offerings to Lord Shiva as a symbol of “Victory Over Evil”.
Many Hindus from different parts of the country during this month observe fasting, especially on Mondays, which are dedicated to Lord Shiva for his worship and are known as ‘Shravan Somvar Vrat’. According to the Hindu mythology
and mythological legends mentioned in Hindu Vedas and Puranas, the holy month of Shravan is dedicated to worshipping Lord Shiva for success, victory over evil
marriage, serenity, and prosperity.
As Lord Shiva is also known as the “God of Tantra” according to Hindu Mythology, some followers consider performing ‘Tantra’ during this month, beneficial and better for their lives.
This is the month wherein the followers believe that Lord Shiva grants abundant boon and blessings to
devotees, who repent for their mistakes and ask for success, evade negative energy, change themselves to better human beings, banish bad luck, etc. This is the period and eventually the way out wherein one attracts the blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
